Hmm.. Ok, maybe it would be possible to implement by SPPS, but then it
cannot be a bot - it needs to be a component with separated virtual
contacts, one contact per feed (because of SPPS' just one node of each
type).

And.. to have RSS feeds, you need to store more than one item, while
SPPS is for just one item.

On the other hand, I guess it does not cost so much to implement "client
side" of full pub/sub. Just let the user subscribe to any node they
want. Much bigger problem is to implement "publish part" of it. And yes,
maybe it's not so needed for a normal IM user - if I want to run RSS
feeds via pub/sub, I will not use Psi to publish the news.
